Aspire not to have more but to be more – St Oscar Romero
Week 2
It has been super to have a full week in school with you all after the Christmas holidays!
We have been very busy this week. We have enjoyed our Drawing Club text of the Little Red Hen. We have thought carefully about the characters and even thought of a naughty character that wants to trap the Little Red Hen and steal her bread! As always the children have been very imaginative!
This week our maths learning focused on the composition of numbers 3, 4 and 5. The children have been using cubes to explore how these numbers can be composed and decomposed; beginning to understand that a whole can be made up of smaller parts.
On Wednesday we enjoyed learning more about winter. We made bird feeders in the afternoon and have hung these up around the school grounds to feed the birds. We are excited to spot the birds feeding on them!
This week in RE we started our new topic of 'Getting to know Jesus' and heard the story of Jesus getting lost in the temple. We discussed how we might feel if we were Mary, Joseph or Jesus at different parts of the story. The children made their own envelope 'temple' and the characters from the story so they could retell it themselves using it.
